- Subject: re: lost servers
- Lines: 12
-
- We had this problem in a LAN environment. All our servers are in the same
- room with an ethernet coax backbone connecting them. Server A would not see
- Server B, but Server B could see server A.
-
- We could make the problem move to different servers by changing the sequence
- of how the servers were connected on the coax.
-
- Turned out to be a simple cabling problem on some PC's that were also on the
- backbone. We had some bizarre PC's where we couldn't get the coax T
- connector directly onto the ethernet card. We used a small piece of RG-58
- between the T and the card. That apparently caused timing problems all along
- the segment.
